Question 1

How realistic does the handwriting look?

Accepted Answer

Very realistic. Penora uses 10 adjustable handwriting effects (per-word rotation, baseline shift, letter-spacing jitter, ink shadow, line-slope noise) plus a paper engine (grain, lighting, vignette, page curl), so printed output looks virtually indistinguishable from real handwriting.

Question 2

What handwriting fonts are available?

Accepted Answer

Penora includes 41 handwriting fonts across six categories. Paid plans can also upload custom .ttf, .otf, .woff, or .woff2 files.

Question 3

How does the AI Writer work?

Accepted Answer

The AI Writer is powered by Google Gemini. Describe what you want and it generates complete, formatted content with headings, lists, tables, and LaTeX math.

Question 4

Can I use LaTeX math formulas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click Insert Formula, type LaTeX, and it renders on the paper preview via KaTeX, optionally in your chosen handwriting font.

Question 5

What export formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Free users can export DOCX, PDF, and PNG with free-plan limits. Pro and Max include unlimited DOCX/PDF generation under fair use, at 1x, 2x, or 3x resolution.

Question 6

Does it work with Google Classroom?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Classroom sync is live for paid plans, including courses, assignments, due dates, materials, and deep-links back to assignment pages.

Question 7

Can the AI generate code and charts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on paid plans. Penora can write Python, run it, capture matplotlib output, and embed charts into generated documents.

Question 8

Is it free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan is $0 with core handwriting features, limited DOCX/PDF generation, and 60 fast AI image attempts per month. Pro ($9/month) and Max ($29/month) increase credits and caps.

Question 9

Can I use my own handwriting?

Accepted Answer

Pro users can upload custom .ttf, .otf, .woff, or .woff2 fonts, including a font made from your own handwriting using a tool like Calligraphr.

Question 10

Is Penora allowed for my assignments?

Accepted Answer

Penora is built for legitimate uses such as note-taking, accessibility, time-saving, and formatting. Always follow your institution's academic-integrity policy.
